41 | Is the Bible filled with TRUTH? | Bible general Archive 1 | meusing | 47882 | ||
Our salvation is not based on a translation of the Scriptures but the truth of the death and resurrection of Jesus which is proclaimed in all translations. Remember we have the Holy Spirit bearing witness to us that we are the children of God. John 20:31 But these are written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God, and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him you may have life through (in) His name [through Who He is]. [Ps. 2:7, 12.] |

42 | I'm not sure this is applicable | Bible general Archive 1 | meusing | 55984 | ||
If Jesus is our Lord and Master, it is our duty and joy to obey Him not give Him orders. As we focus on Him, all things else fall away. We do things in order to please Him. He died because of our vices. Do we really want to cause Him pain? He is there for us to help us overcome them. It is our obligation to abide in Him. |

Jesus taught us about God the Father. Jesus is God with us, Immanuel. who has all the attributes of deity see Phil. 2:6. The Holy Spirit is God, as lying to the Holy Spirit is lying to God, Acts 5:3. Our bodies are the temple of God the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God's temple (His sanctuary), and that God's Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you, collectively as a church and also individually]? 1 Cor 6:19 Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God?

47 | describe the divided kingdoms. | OT general | meusing | 42734 | ||
The Northern kingdom was Israel and the Southern kingdom was Judah. "The divided Kingdom period lasted for 253 years, and in respect of the relation to one anothe of the South and North it is divisible into three parts. First of all these kingdoms were antagonistic to one another; SOUTH - Rehoboam to Asa BC 975-924 61 NORTH - Jeroboam to Omri BC 975-918 57 (1 Kings 12-16:28 2 Chron 10-16) then, by marriage, they became allies for a while; SOUTH - Jehoshaphat to Jehoash BC 914-839 75 NORTH - Ahab to Jehoahaz BC 918-839 79 (1 Kings 16:29-2 Kings 13:9 2 Chron 17-24) and, finally, until the removal into captivity of the people of the North, they were again antagonistic. SOUTH - Amaziah to Hezekiah BC 839-722 117 (61 plus 75 plus 117 equals 253 Years) NORTH - Joash to Hoshea BC 839-722 117 (57 plus 79 plus 117 equals 253 Years) (2 Kings 13:10-18:12 2 Chron 25-29)" The Unfolding Drama of Redemption by W.

48 | Who are the "sons of God?" | OT general | meusing | 44626 | ||
The 'sons of God' in Genesis 6 refers to the decendents of Seth who were called by and on the Name of the LORD Gen. 4:26. As for the mention of 'sons of god'in Job, he also mentions them in Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? I think that relates to what John saw in Rev 5:11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels on every side of the throne and of the living creatures and the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin], and they numbered ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands, [Dan. 7:10.] |

49 | Who was Mary Magadlene? | NT general Archive 1 | meusing | 40813 | ||
Adam Clarke said : Mary Magdalene is commonly thought to have been a prostitute before she came to the knowledge of Christ, and then to have been a remarkable penitent. So historians and painters represent her: but neither from this passage, nor from any other of the New Testament, can such a supposition be legitimately drawn. She is here represented as one who had been possessed with seven demons; and as one among other women who had been healed by Christ of evil (or wicked) spirits and infirmities. As well might Joanna and Susanna, mentioned ver. 3, come in for a share of the censure as this Mary Magdalene; for they seem to have been dispossessed likewise by Jesus, according to St. Luke's account of them. They had all had infirmities, of what sort it is not said, and those infirmities were occasioned by evil spirits within them; and Jesus had healed them all: but Mary Magdalene, by her behaviour, and constant attendance on Jesus in his lifetime, at his crucifixion, and at his grave, seems to have exceeded all the other women in duty and respect to his person. Bishop PEARCE. There is a marvellous propensity in commentators to make some of the women mentioned in the Sacred Writings appear as women of ill fame; therefore Rahab must be a harlot; and Mary Magdalene, a prostitute: and yet nothing of the kind can be proved either in the former or in the latter case; nor in that mentioned chap. vii. 36, etc., where see the notes. Poor Mary Magdalene is made the patroness of penitent prostitutes, both by Papists and Protestants; and to the scandal of her name, and the reproach of the Gospel, houses fitted up for the reception of such are termed Magdalene hospitals! and the persons themselves Magdalenes! There is not only no proof that this person was such as commentators represent her, but there is the strongest presumptive proof against it: for, if she ever had been such, it would have been contrary to every rule of prudence, and every dictate of wisdom, for Christ and his apostles to have permitted such a person to associate with them, however fully she might have been converted to God, and however exemplary her life, at that time, might have been. As the world, who had seen her conduct, and knew her character, (had she been such as is insinuated,) could not see the inward change, and as they sought to overwhelm Christ and his disciples with obloquy and reproach on every occasion, they would certainly have availed themselves of so favourable an opportunity to subject the character and ministry of Christ to the blackest censure, had he permitted even a converted prostitute to minister to him and his disciples. They were ready enough to say that he was the friend of publicans and sinners, because he conversed with them in order to instruct and save their souls; but they could never say he was a friend of prostitutes, because it does not appear that such persons ever came to Christ; or that he, in the way of his ministry, ever went to them. I conclude therefore that the common opinion is a vile slander on the character of one of the best women mentioned in the Gospel of God; and a reproach cast on the character and conduct of Christ and his disciples. From the whole account of Mary Magdalene, it is highly probable that she was a person of great respectability in that place; such a person as the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, could associate with, and a person on whose conduct or character the calumniating Jews could cast no aspersions. |

We are new born Children of God when we first come to Him. Sometimes we fall, as babies do when trying to walk. God is faithful to pick us up and set us on our feet again, and to chastise us if nesessary, through sickness or suffering to bring us back to Himself. The father of the prodigal son did not disinherit his son when his son left him but eagerly looked for the return of the prodigal. |

54 | Jesus | NT general Archive 1 | meusing | 64076 | ||
We are not saved by the our belief in the Trinity, We are saved by our belief that the shed blood of The Son of God cleanses us from all sins, and our life is now to be lived for th one who lived and died for us. Jesus did not come to teach the Trinity, He did not need to. As God, He took Himself the form of a servant to show us that God was our Father. He showed by His actions that He was God in the flesh. And He talked about the Holy Spirit of God as a Person who would speak of Him, as He spoke of His Father. I am suprised that when they said that Jesus never claimed to be the only begotten son that you did not show them John 3:16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. |

57 | Biblical revelations in Genesis 3? | Genesis | meusing | 38604 | ||
Man sinned; Man was judged; Salvation was promised 3:15 The sinner was redeemed 3:21 "We have here, in figure, the great doctrine of divine righteousness set forth. The robe which God provided was a effectual covering, because He provided it just as the apron was an ineffectual covering. Moreover, God's coat was founded upon blood-shedding; Adam's apron was not. So also now, God's righteousness isset forth in the cross; man's righteousness is set forth in the works - the sin-stained works - of his own hands. when Adam stood clothed in the coat of skin he could not say he was naked, not had he any occasion to hide himself. The sinner may feel perfectly at rest when, by faith, he knows that God has clothed him; but to feel at rest till then, can only be the result of presumtion or ignorance. To know that the dress I wear, and in which I appear before God is of His own providing, must set my heart at perfect rest. There can be no true, permanent rest in aught else."

58 | Where did Cain's wife come from? | Genesis | meusing | 44200 | ||
John Gill said ... Who this woman was is not certain, nor whether it was his first wife or not; whether his sister, or one that descended from Adam by another of his sons, since this was about the one hundred and thirtieth year of the creation. At first indeed Cain could marry no other than his sister; but whether he married Abel's twin sister, or his own twin sister, is disputed; the Jews say , that Cain's twin sister was not a beautiful woman, and therefore he said, I will kill my brother and take his wife: on the other hand, the Arabic writers say , that Adam would have had Cain married Abel's twin sister, whom they call Awin; and Abel have married Cain's twin sister, whom they call Azron; but Cain would not, because his own sister was the handsomest; and this they take to be the occasion of the quarrel, which issued in the murder of Abel. Calvin said ... And Cain knew his wife . From the context we may gather that Cain, before he slew his brother, had married a wife; otherwise Moses would now have related something respecting his marriage; because it would be a fact worthy to be recorded, that any one of his sisters could be found, who would not shrink with horror from committing herself into the hand of one whom she knew to be defiled with a brother's blood; and while a free choice was still given her, should rather choose spontaneously to follow an exile and a fugitive, than to remain in her father's family. Moreover, he relates it as a prodigy that Cain, having shaken off the terror he had mentioned, should have thought of having children: F248 for it is remarkable, that he who imagined himself to have as many enemies as there were men in the world, did not rather hide himself in some remote solitude. It is also contrary to nature, that he being astounded with fear; and feeling that God was opposed to him, could enjoy any pleasure. Indeed, it seems to me doubtful, whether he had previously had any children; for there would be nothing absurd in saying, that reference is here made especially to those who were born after the crime was committed, as to a detestable seed who would fully participate in the sanguinary disposition, and the savage manners of their father. This, however, is without controversy, that many persons, as well males as females, are omitted in this narrative; it being the design of Moses only to follow one line of his progeny, until he should come to Lamech. The house of Cain, therefore, was more populous than Moses states; but because of the memorable history of Lamech, which he is about to subjoin, he only adverts to one line of descendents, and passes over the rest in silence. |

59 | Cain and Seth's wives descended from who | Genesis | meusing | 44754 | ||
This has been answered many times. Cain and Seth's wives were decended from Adam and Eve. John Gill said ...
